Mount Nemrut [antikvár]

Modern Turkish uses the Latin alphabet, modified to ensure that there is a separate letter for each main sound. The spelling thus aims at phonetic consistency. For Turkish artists, place names, publications and special terms this book employ modern Turkish spelling. Proper names have been kept in modern Turkish with one exception - Istanbul has been rendered with normál English spelling using I rather than 1 unless it is part of a title. Consonants have more or less the same sound as in English, except for: c like j in English. g like ch in English. g the "soft g". Depending on the adjoining letters, this is dropped, pronounced like y in English, or treated a lengthening the preceding vowel. 1 is a back, close, unrounded vowel which does not exist in English, the nearest equivalent being the phantom vowel in the second syllable of rhythm. ö like ö in Germán or eu in French peur. § like sh in English. ü like ü in Germán or u in French.
